How do u explain the fact that a prophet said a thing that came to pass at the exact time he mentioned?

Or he gave u your life history in details?

Seun:
I could read the weather forecast and use it to predict whether it will rain tomorrow or not. People who don't know about weather forecasts would think I'm a prophet if this happened many times. I could predict something I'm 50% sure is going to happen based on common sense, statistics, science, news, etc and then ask people to pray against it. If it happens, I'm a great prophet. If it doesn't happen, the prayers worked!


There are two ways: One is cold reading, which I call the Sherlock Holmes strategy. The other is hot reading, which I call the CIA strategy.

What's the mystery behind that??
Thanks.

People predict the weather with the aid of sensitive equipment but here we have someone freely without the aid of equipment declare your life and sensitive issues personally relating to you.

Stop talking Seun...for once stop talking.

mokoshalb:
and you think they go through series of techniques before telling you what they know...?

Someone mentioning my details to me isn't strange because I always submit them when completing forms in organizations. Don't sound funny. It takes your CV or a completed biodata submitted somewhere and a little more investigation to get detailed information about you.

DeSepiero:
Here's your problem. You have an already made up mind when it comes to God.

How do you know they are not using any sensitive equipment? You think pastors don't do research? And use technology?
How do you think they prepare sermons and teachings?
Maybe God shows them all the bible quotations in a vision.

Don't you think a 'supposed' prophet can go digging for information on a particular person (prey) just to sound convincing for dubious purposes? When you hear of 'fake pastors and prophets' duping people of millions and valuables don't you imagine how it happens.

4everGod:
You seem not to understand what the OP is saying. Let me give you my own personal life as a case in point.

i minister in churches by invitation and have experienced the gifts of word of knowledge and prophecy a lot.

knowing details about people i have never met and experiences they have had and will have. Declaring future events regarding them and having them happen exactly as declared.

personally i knew before hand when my wife would get pregnant and the gender of the unborn baby right from conception and also for over 30 other ladies i have been opportuned to pray with. I have even had knowledge of abortions carried out by ladies i never met before and they confirmed it even up to one carried out just the day before our encounter.

So many to mention. These are not issues bordering on names or addresses but on real life's issues and occurrences. Its not done via equipments but via dependence on the Holy Spirit of God.

Its not everything you think you have an explanation for. Iam using my very self as this example.

That only happens in uncivilized countries cuz in developed countries, people ain't possessed with primitive problems.

It all depends on how you train your mind to give regular predictions which is religiously known as prophecy. This are men that have religiously sharpened their natural instincts with an organized way of making discretion. They meditate on people's personality, temperament, predicament and intimidate them by fixing in a particular problem in their lives, knowing that an average Nigerian grew up with the problem mentality.
Prophecy is all about using mystical knowledge to forecast and estimate future events and not necessarily backup with any spiritual body.

But I think that religion is another way of studying and observing nature as well as been inspired with some hidden primitive problems of human being without necessarily providing solutions to those problems discovered.

I know you think you made a whole lot of sense with what you wrote but sadly...you did not as all you said is wrong..

You spoke from a place of zero knowledge which is why you almost sounded childish with your comment.

Is there a school of Prophecy? With what parameters or equipment do they train their minds to make declarations into the future regarding private and personal things that eventually do happen to the letter?

One of such people who is a Pastor told me that I would get married to a lightskinned lady and she would come from outside Lagos and even told me the name of this lady.....but he mentioned her native name but he said that when I meet her I would know.

4 yrs later the woman who became My wife came from Portharcourt for a winners program and her prayer point was that God should direct her husband to her and that she was ready.

The first day I met her...I did not even see her but heard her voice and I was hooked and practically moved mountains to get the owner of that voice as all she did was greet me and my friends and walk past and I was busy with something on my lap so never looked up when responding.

I met her and proposed to her 3 months later and only knew her native name on the day of traditional marriage as she has never used or mentioned that name and I never bothered to ask. But her father is the one who loves calling her by her native name and when he mentioned her name alas it was the same name the Pastor declared to me 4 yrs before.

Not everything has a viable and accurate explanation. I have experienced same thing this Pastor experienced so I know what I am talking about.
